The funding climate continues to present a challenge for cultural organisations, particularly against the backdrop of rising costs and stretched resources. Is it time to think more creatively about how we fundraise to support the work of creative organisations? Whilst the traditional arts and culture funders will continue to be a vital cornerstone of our contributed income generation, how can we begin to look beyond this sector to leverage support from more diverse sources? Understanding how your work might align with non-typical arts funders could be a key to opening up new funding relationships.

So where should you start? And how much of a shift in approach will it require?

Join us as we explore examples of how fundraisers have identified and aligned their organisation's work with a broader prospect base, the successes and challenges they've faced, and what they've learned along the way.

We have an expert panel who'll share their insights and experiences, and help you to think about how you might implement this approach in your own work.
